I don't have a name for this series of work...it is really a personal journey. Over the past year, I have played with working in different ways and stepping out of my comfort zone. It was scary and fun at the same time. These paintings are some of the results....

If you are not able to come to the show on Tuesday, July 8, no problem. The paintings will be up throughout the month of July.

I think I had been looking at my dreary garden and longing for my zinnias.

Once the colors started forming, I couldn't stop!

This series was inspired by Eye Miniatures from the 1700's. Somehow, online I found one and was so intrigued, I started digging around for more information. In the 1700s, tiny portraits of a loved one's eye was encased in a beautiful piece of jewelry (broach, ring, etc.) as a sign of affection. I loved this idea and was moved to paint my own eyes...obviously larger.

About Me

I have been painting over 20 years and creating things my entire life. I work out of my home studio in Oklahoma City. As well as painting and working in mixed media, I have worked as a display stylist at The Cloverleaf Boutique and a photo stylist at Hobby Lobby Corporate, and in the Visual Department of Anthropologie store in OKC part-time, which gives me more time to create my original artwork. I am also a licensed artist with Demdaco. My days are spent fluttering between my studio, junking and working.
